Ok, Amber "tagged" me on her blog so here I go... 5 things you didn't know about me. This was so hard because I'm a complete open book and have virtually no secrets from anyone so after thinking for a lot longer then I probably should have, here are my 5 things, sorry if you already know these...
1) I HATE, I mean truly deeply HATE bell peppers. Green, red, yellow... all are the nastiest vegetable I've ever tried. I keep retrying them to maybe get a feel for what everyone else enjoys, but no matter how hard I try to like them they continuously disgust me. Not only do they taste retched but they taint the flavor of everything that they touch, inevitably ruining the entire dish.
2) I'm deathly afraid of fish and swimming in natural bodies of water. I don't trust fish, they're slimy and don't blink. I'm scared of and hate the idea of swimming where I can't see what's under and around me. Of course I'm not a fan of swimming anyway, I hate being wet to the point that I resent having to shower everyday and the concept of public pools and spas gross me out. I've seen too many floating band-aids and big ol' wads of hair to think fondly of swimming pools.
3) One of my most memorable youth activities was when I was 14, we went to a show in Long Beach, CA called Pageant of the Masters... The stage would be dark and when the lights finally came on there was a life sized version of a painting or statue. They looked incredible and exactly like the real art works, but they were real people. It was so neat to see how still they all were and how exact they all looked to a painting and it was so fun when one would move.
4) When I was a freshman in high school our entire early morning seminary class ditched the class and went to an IHOP for breakfast. Our seminary teacher found out and went to the IHOP to chew us all out, but when she saw that we were all sitting together as a class she was overjoyed that we all were getting along because that was her goal as a teacher that year.
5) When I was 10, I had a brother who wet the bed. My friend Maxine and I were curious about just how much his "GoodNights" could hold... so we drank a few glasses of water and found out about half an hour later.
Any questions?

I hear you on the bell pepper thing...blehhhh. I think the goodnights thing is hilarious!!!
I almost didn't put it in... and I seriously don't understand people liking bell peppers... puke!
I really didn't know the bell pepper thing. I'm the same way with olives. Gag...me. I used to try them every year at Thanksgiving to see if I would end up liking them--apparently, they're a bid deal. But when something taste like a sweaty infected toe dipped in vinegar, you can pretty much guess you'll never end up liking it.
And wouldn't it have been easier to just pour the water directly into the Goodnights...instead of getting the full experience?
You would think so, we were 10, so pouring the water wouldn't be nearly as fun... I can handle black olives in small quantities but I feel the same way you do about green olives, ick!
I wouldn't have guessed the Bell Peppers.
Hmmmm....now we get to all guess WHICH brother...and do you mean YOU & MAXINE wet the bed too, or just that brother again?
we didn't wet the bed... just the brother, that's why we were curious.
haha, thanks Erika, well I have been wondering what things to put in my tag, I just found out one of them. I know it was gross, but I couldn't help it
bell peppers AND olives...both are equally NASTY...and YES they DO 'infect' all that they touch. although i DO have to say on one VERY rare occasion...there was raw bell pepper in a dish and it actually was sweet and semi pleasant. WEIRD!
HAHAHAHA! LOVE the goodnights thing! that is great!
I don't remember this GoodNights incident. Why don't I remember it? Are you sure it happened? I deny all connection to this story...
Mmm... Bell peppers...
Wait a minute - I used to have to practically airlift you out of our swimming pool when we were kids!
When I was a kid, sure, I like swimming... but things change. And I didn't remember this until I was thinking of what to put in my 5 things... I remember it, along with our "testing" tampons in the sink...
Eeeeewwww...grody dude!!!
Sometimes, it's possible to say too much.
What's the big deal? The tampon thing? Opening it up and dipping it in a sink full of water? How is that so gross?
Ask any man.
Men can just get over it. An 11 year old girl with 3 older sisters and an 11 year old girl with no sisters are curious... men need to get over themselves and realize that every women they've ever known or will ever know uses that stuff, we're the ones that have to use them, they can at least grow up enough to know and hear about them.
